Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character

I am curious about this hybrid amp. I very briefly saw it at the HE show in NYC, last year. I just read the (overall favorable) review that was just released in TAS.

I am looking to hear from those who own this amp, or have taken advantage of Moscode's generous in-home audition.

How would you describe this amp's sound?
Does it sound like a tube amp?
Does it sound like a solid state amp?
Does it sound like the best of both worlds...warm "tube" richness, with solid state authority & slam?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Greggadd,

I just sold my BAT VK-600SE and Dodd 120's as I preferred the Moscode 401HR over both.

I agree with Tvad in that I have no desire to try other amps and I am extremly happy with the Moscode.

George I'm glad you are happy with the 401HR. After about 150 hours it will come into it's own. I think it takes about six months for a marraige to occur between the owner and component. By then you will realize the smart move you made.

Though I likely will dive into this fairly soon, I have not yet changed power amps...likely will be staying w/SS.

Please share your thoughts once you have yours.

Enjoy!
